that weight loss memo from DM HQ’s did set up an easy way to get ryan back to work at the scranton branch when it said the branch mgrs now have much more power and can hire & fire. or maybe this was the last DM newsletter? one or the other, but that specific point was obviously a lead-up for ryan’s return. michael has authority to hire whomever he wants now!

Wow! Thanks for pointing out Ryan people! I was beginning to think no hints about Ryan’s where-abouts would be given! SO thanks very much for posting that :) And he has no beard! Hopefully his ego’s been taken care of as well! But he’s still wearing those black shirts!

Ryan is back. What company would let an employee who committed fraud back? It could be the best punishment for him. Because of his crime he can’t get a job anywhere else and Michael is the only one who will hire him.

Ryan being back (although I don’t know the reason) may completely discredit anything this show had about being realistic. If he was actually able to be rehired by the company he allegedly committed fraud to, then I am utterly confused. Unless the allegations weren’t true and he’s just there for another reason then I guess it could make sense.

If you pay very close attention at the beginning of Clip #6, you can catch a quick glimpse of Kelly. It appears to be the last half-second of a talking head (right before the Jan scene begins), and judging by this quick glimpse, she looks quite unhappy.

I am soooo happy to see him back in the Office. Obviously he’d be back to the show in some form since he’s been in the episode synopsis lately, but the fact he’s actually back IN the office itself is amazing. Thursday can’t come fast enough.

The interviews were excellent. Were they at corporate? John’s interview made a JAM proposal sound questionable. Maybe he is bluffing. The Jan/Holly/Michael love triangle should be fun to watch. Only 2 more days!

The first part of John’s interview makes it sound like it’s going to take Jim a while to build up the courage again to propose to Pam. I guess the first failed proposal took more out of Jim than I had initially thought.

I am so psyched Ryan is back! I really missed having his baby-face, depressed self in the office last season. Also, the Michael-Holly vibe is great! Can’t wait..counting down the hours to my Office Premiere Party Luau!! The season looks very promising!

I would love to see Phyllis slip up regarding her Dwangela info in front of Jim and Pam, so they can have a “do you know something/we know something” moment. It would be hilarious for Dwangela to be at Phyllis and JAM’s mercy!
